Just don't topple anyone who lives next door to the Romulans. You know how they get when that happens.
^ One must always show resolve and determination in the face of such chaos and the Empire will remain strong in the face of this adversity, for the sake of our sons and daughters. Cardassia will prevail!
If I might ask a question, however? I am of course immensely grateful that the Guard has bestowed upon me a promotion and a ship of my own. I humbly request that my ship be named after one of the greatest heroes of our age: the Aman Evek. I had the singular honor of serving under the great Evek while I was assigned to the Vetar. I always looked up to him, and still do. Everything I am, everything I know, I learned from him. Herkimer: Those foul Romulans will never know what hit them. They deserve to be toppled! And the Guard is just the force to do it. When we are finished with them, the Romulan language will be spoken only in the underworld!
In time, Gul. Haste does not always serve us best. Our finest military strategists are at work as we speak, applying their expertise to the Romulan Situation. The discipline of the Cardassian mind will win the day here, though your commitment to the cause does you credit. Agent Nerys Ghemor is conspicuously absent from this discussion. Consider the implications of that ...but not too much, as she would inform you... As for your request, as a newly assigned councilor I do not possess the authority, so I will ask Thor Damar to consider the proposal.
Indeed--and the last part is the most important one. Sentiments without proper channeling are like antimatter without proper containment. We are no Vulcans, by any means: we have our loves and our passions, but we are disciplined. They do not rule us, and must not, lest they detract from our clarity of mind. And welcome to the service of Cardassia--serve Cardassia and Cardassia shall honor you. Betray Cardassia--and Cardassia, through us, will have justice. As one of the revived Order--I am no friend of the Romulans, and would never advocate any sort of warmth towards them. We must, of course, be sure to take into the account the lessons of previous engagements involving these devious cousins of the Vulcans and be sure that we do not open our homeworld to attack, or put ourselves in a position to take significant losses to the fleet we have only just started to build.
I expect the sem'hal stew with yamok sauce to be extra tasty. A hungry Cardassian is an angry Cardassian...
Do not question your commander. If you are told to feed your crew in a certain way, you will do it. (BTW, I even like yamok sauce on my boiled taspar eggs in the morning.)
GUARDS! Seize these two spies and take them to the brig immediately. Madam Agent will be most pleased that two traitors to Cardassia have been apprehended...
While you've been chatting WE beamed to a waiting escape vessel and left the system. AN HOUR AGO! Pttb-pttb-pttb! MEEP MEEP! (varrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooom)
Note to self: Don't tell these two pitiful spies that my ship's brig actually is a holodeck. They only think they've escaped...
^I will commend you to Nerys Ghemor for your service to the Great Cardassian Union, Gul. You done the Order a great service.
Hey what the--- it's a holodeck! HEY GLINN CLUSTERFUCK!! Watch me SHAG YOUR WIFE! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! COMPUTER! CUE CHEESEY PORNO SOUNDTRACK!
